Fixed for me. It's a refreshing change. FF has usually been the one to set the standard when it came to a lot of stuff, including music. They need vocal music during battles outside of choir work, and then they'll be good.
I'm also one of the people who thought the genre variance and the acoustic work in FFX, FFIX, and FFXIII were a good thing. I really love the acoustic work in FFXIII-2, and I'd like to hear more of it in the future.
Also, I've taken to muting the music sometimes and just playing Inevitable Struggle (Zero no Kiseki), For True Story (Sonic Adventure 2), Crisis City (Modern), and Rooftop Run (Modern) during areas. They work well enough and help break the monotony somewhat.
That's what happens when you have the updated Mog Throw Fragment Skill turned on. He surveys the area a little more and decides to find small stuff.
Change the weather to lightning (sky should look purplish, don't change it to rainy weather, just lightning). Play with the switches until you get the desired result. Blue should be down. Red should be up.

I can't believe I spend the last 2 hours battling myself through the last section of the game only to get to the very last boss fight and quit because it's so hard and I'm very low leveled 
anyway, which way is the best way to grind CP and level up fast?
and oh one more thing about the last boss:

Did you unlock Augusta Tower AF300? You have to do that section in order to get the keycard for Augusta Tower AF200.
You can unlock the area by using a Wild Artefact in Yaschas Massif AF01X.

So many aspects of this game feel tailor-made for me. The specific way the sidequests and other optional content are structured is exactly the kind of thing that I like. Plus the monster recruiting and infusion are big pluses for me as well. I feel kinda unstoppable with my fully upgraded pulse knight, and I can't wait to level up my new albino lobo.

You have to unlock "AF300 Augusta Tower" and go there. In order to unlock it you will have to go back to "Yaschas Massif O1X AF" and to the west of the map there's a gate where you will have to use a Wild Artefact to activate
You can, you either just have to time your jumps properly for now or wait until you get something later in the game.
Get new monster.

Never use it. Why do I do this to myself :|

Is the leveling system the same as FFXIII ?
Kind of like a linear, all-incorporating, choice-based, sphere grid fused with the crystarium.
You mean timing my jumps for the
backward light-bridges? Also, what is the object I get later?
Thanks.

I find the cyclical chronology in this game rather frustrating too. I doubt Toriyama was thinking of cyclical time metaphysics when he thought this up... and I think they don't really do much with it outside of establishing that train of thought in the universe (unsurprisingly).
...Man, whenever I pay attention to the narrative, all I want to do is play Chrono Trigger since the rules and regulations of the Chrono universe are clear-cut and logical. Not to mention that I like ATB 2.0 a lot. What I find interesting is that whenever the FFXIII-2 characters say that
a portion of the timeline is overwritten or deleted
that sort of thing would have been discarded to the Darkness Beyond Time to never see the light of day again. This is why the Chrono crew were always hesitant to change time--because it would mean people and the timeline that they visited would be thrown to the DBT, never to be seen again. The repercussions of changing time and dimensions in the Chrono universe are made clear to the player, while here, Serah and Noel seem to do it willy-nilly, and they keep doing it even after they realize that they probably shouldn't.
Outside of the narrative--enjoying Noel a metric ton, liking that I can open up optional areas before I should, and liked what they did with
Archlyte Steppe
Yes.
Yes.
Later, after completing enough fragments, you can get an extended jump/float Fragment Skill from Serendipity. For the light escalators/bridges, it's possible to jump down them, you just have to keep at at and time your jumps properly. You'll have to do this later in the game for a particular section.
I did the same thing, but it took me about 5 pheonix downs in that fight to beat it
Dark Schala
Eloquent Princess
Yeah, the behemoths are easy.
Don't listen to the game if you can beat them, lol.
Does anyone else have any suggestions for SEN monsters for around Episode 5? I think I'm going to need one to use as bait and a punching bag soon. I only have a Pulse Knight. I'm not catching a lot of monsters cuz... well, I'm not using them and they're not using Feral Links to attract other monsters to the party! :lol

Isnt the silver chocobo a SEN? Not sure when you could get him.
My level 20 pulse knight takes very little damage from them, and keeps me safe. <3 I had him maxed out before I even left Bresha 005.
I caught the second I encountered unable to run away, too. It has been in my party since.
edit
I ran into an albino behemoth named nasha something and I got wrecked as soon as it stood.
Dark Schala
Eloquent Princess
Is it? I forgot to get that one from the moogle throw, so I should probably go get it. Thanks.
As long as it has Provoke and Mediguard, it's good enough for me. I just need it to act as bait. (You know what I'm going to use it for, anyway, since I have no choice: (episode 5 spoilers for those who don't want to read this)
when Serah's alone and has to fight Caius
Is that what Feral Links do? Admittedly, I've hardly used them, mostly due to just forgetting they're there. But I've been grinding a bit for a certain monster, and the game just won't give it to me!
Sweet!
Supposedly, if you defeat an enemy with a feral link, the chances of it joining are much higher.
Yeah, I think this is my biggest problem with the time travel mechanic so far. Plus, I see nothing good forthcoming in the fact that now we're getting into alternate time-lines now.
Yeah, I ran into that albino behemoth. I thought I was doing well, but then it stood up and just wrecked my party.
Also, I appreciate how the game lets you go to different places, but just kinda taps its fingers when you are in a place you clearly shouldn't be in yet.
Dark Schala
Eloquent Princess
Yeah. The more you use them (and the higher the % synchronization rate), the higher the capture chance... that is, if the Link is used to defeat the monster with a high synch % rate.
Yeah... it seems like there aren't clear-cut rules outside of
Caius being the one to preserve the timeline by any means necessary
Huh. I'll try that then. Noel usually does all the heavy hitting work, so he almost always finishes the round. But I'll set up some paradigms with him as SEN or something and let my monster COMs put in some battle time.
Thanks. I'm getting a pretty full roster of monster buddies, so I'm now trying to learn all the nuances of this system. This is helpful.Dark Schala said:

I'm so over leveled, all the bosses in chapter 5 fell in, no kidding, under 40 seconds.
Just wait for FFXIII-3. Two main leads again, but one is JYB using his Renton Thurston voice, and the other is JYB using his "Every JYB-voiced character" voice.

Do you think when this DLC comes out this Tuesday, will have anything else other than the lightning fight? How hard is it to put up some costumes? At least put Noels up, his is already ready to go.

Thirteen flew over the cuckoo's nest
Thanks, I don't know how exactly I did it, but in the end the Dragon Age's Dragon appeared there (cool fight btw) and I got my reward.
Am I wrong or Mog doesn't see invisible artifacts? It's going to be a pain in the ass finding them if they're placed in hide spots. I was searching for one single fragment in the
place where Snow is
I just finished the part where
Snow disappears in front of Serah and Noel 'cause the time paradox have been solved,

So I got to Augusta tower 200AF, but the way is blocked and the game said to explore other areas for gates to here, anyone know where I need to go to find an alternate timeline here?

So far, the main place I feel this game falls behind the original is in the Crystarium. I thought it was a lot better handled in the first game, while here you have very little choice within each role. The monster upgrading and infusion is really awesome, though. I also miss being able to upgrade weapons.
I'm really liking the environments, however. I'm in Episode 4, and I just finished
, and I thought that area was pretty great. There isn't anything on par with Gran Pulse, but there are a lot of awesome different areas to visit, and you can go to a different area whenever you want to.
I'm really liking the environments, however. I'm in Episode 4, and I just finished
Augustia Tower in 200 AF
So there are really only 6 chapters then?
Correct.
